A couple of my favorite products on the market right now are Snapchat and Google Glass. Unfortunately, today, Snapchat is not available on Google Glass. What if it was though? I decided it would be a super fun idea to explore what the experience would be like to use Snapchat on Google Glass.

Problem, Brainstorm, and Sketches

There is no Snapchat experience for Google Glass. What would this look like?

How can you see what your friends are doing from their point of view? What if they don't share everything they do but you want to see exactly what they're doing?

First, I started writing out my thoughts. According to many different articles, Snapchat's most active users are teens and millennials. I decided to create this experience for this age group, specifically power users who own a Google Glass device. Snapchat is known for selfies but that was clearly one of the biggest constraints. You can't take selfies on Google Glass. After doing a little bit of interviews and reading some articles like Josh Miller's Eleventh Grade Tech Trends, I noticed that Snapchat's users were making a little shift in the way they use the product. It was turning into a consumption product, the new "newsfeed".

User flow

After getting my ideas down, I then had to make some decisions. There were many ways I could go about this. After coming up with many different explorations, I made decisions based on how gestures are used on other Google Glass apps as well as asking my friends at school how they would use a specific feature, since my target audience are students. After some decisions were made on the direction of some features, I had to figure out the flow of this product. What are the steps to take a picture? How about to see someone's story?

How about an option for you to see what they're doing without them having to send it to you? Sort of like a live camera. Also would this only work for other people with Glass or can you interact with people on mobile as well?

If I were to continue working on this project, I'd do a little more work on edge cases as well as new features like "stories". Maybe I'll pick this back up again sometime. ;)
